Re: Need better gas mileage and performance

when your talking performance not much is cheap

tbi is the best for fuel economy but not with a 3 speed auto

your best bet would be to find a newer truck with the nv4500 1996-2000 have better ratios and every gear is sencronised and all the power gets put to the ground insted of being lost threw the tq converter and the soft shifts

the exhaust cats coust quite a bit i would leave the factry one on and get a more free flowing muffler

efi with the cat will pass smog

a cold air intake like k&n only buy it once clean it a million times best way to go if you wana save money
